Louisville, Kentucky's Dead Child play heavy metal in the classic tradition — riff-first, melodic when it counts, and rooted in the same blue-collar grit that defines the city's other celebrated heavy exports. Formed in 2008, they've been a local institution since.
Dead City Walker is a traditional heavy metal band from Garanhuns, Pernambuco, Brazil, formed in 2014 by members who had previously played in the hard rock/AOR band Still Living.

Out of Webster Springs, West Virginia, Dead Eternity bring melodic heavy metal and hard rock to one of the state's most remote corners, formed in 2025 with the kind of anthemic conviction that feels shaped by isolation. Their sound looks outward even when the hills close in.
Nashua, New Hampshire's Dead Harrison fuse doom's meditative weight with stoner metal's psychedelic warmth, forming a hazy, riff-worshipping sound since 2014 that draws equally from classic heavy metal and smoke-filled basement jams.
Formed in 2016, Dead Heat deal in straightforward, sweat-drenched heavy metal that keeps its head down and its riffs loud. Unpretentious and built for live stages, they channel the timeless energy of a band with nothing to prove but everything to play.
